Definition
Extracted from facts
primary
An epistemic condition in which a professional, in the course of assigned review work, has found problems with submitted work and concluded that it is deficient, so the professional's knowledge of the deficiencies grounds his recommendations to reject the work and require correction. In this case, Engineer A found problems with certain submissions of one of the subcontractors, including excessive cost and time delays.
Inherited from EpistemicState
· note
A condition of what an agent knows, believes, or is uncertain of with respect to facts material to a decision. As a content kind it captures the agent's knowledge state, the classical Aristotelian epistemic condition for responsibility: an agent is answerable for conduct in proportion to what the agent knew or should have known; Sarmiento et al. (2022) name epistemic aspects fundamental for moving beyond causality to responsibility. Its deontic relevance is that knowledge conditions the obligations governing informed decision and decision-under-uncertainty.

A disclosure condition in which a professional's concerns about deficient work have been communicated to his superiors through internal memoranda, so the concerns are disclosed within the organization and management is on notice of the claimed deficiencies. In this case, Engineer A advised his superiors by memoranda of the problems he found and urged rejection of the work.

A condition of what information has been disclosed, withheld, concealed, or selectively presented among the parties, including states of confidentiality and of omission. As a content kind it is the standing of information flow between agents, distinct from EpistemicState, which is what a single agent knows. Its deontic relevance is that it activates disclosure, notification, confidentiality, and reporting obligations.

A condition in which an engineer's professional judgment on a technical and cost question stands in continued disagreement with his management's decision, placing the engineer's role-derived duty to follow his employer's direction in tension with his insistence on his professional recommendations. In this case, management rejected Engineer A's comments and the disagreement between Engineer A and management on the issues he raised continued.
